Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is a completed Punnett square showing a cross between a pink (RW) flower and a red (RR) one:

REFER TO IMAGE

In this cross, the pink flower is heterozygous for the trait, with one dominant allele (R) and one recessive allele (W). The red flower is homozygous dominant, with two copies of the dominant allele (RR).

The Punnett square shows that the offspring of this cross will have a 50% chance of inheriting the dominant allele from each parent and being red (RR), and a 50% chance of inheriting one dominant allele and one recessive allele and being pink (RW). There is no chance that any of the offspring will be white (WW), as this is a recessive trait and both parents have at least one dominant allele.
